I was going to make a joke about Korean ice cream but damn some of it does look tasty.

You need to switch to a high ice cream, low vegetable diet. Like BJ!
Buy an ice cream machine and learn how to coax those serpentine flavors out of ingredients.
I need some money first.
Nope, just Fun Home. Which I really like. The point of the class will be largely to explain some of the ways in which graphic fiction can appropriate and repurpose the techniques of prose novels - to get the students to contemplate and suggest some gestures, effects, or forms that might be closed off to it. And Fun Home is an excellent work to look at, really; there's something of a cadence to the tiny deadpan moments of humour as you move from box to box, really. Which tends to nudge its character towards verse, almost: towards the tactical play of readerly expectation that you don't really (unless you are Wodehouse, maybe) get in the regular prose sentence.

The specifics slip my mind right now, but I'm almost positive Scott McLeod and Sara Van Ness (in Watchmen As Literature) have some really interesting insights on the role of framing and transitions in comics. Might be worth taking a look at their stuff to see if you can add anything to your lecture.
What class is this for?
Just a general Contemporary Fiction course. The text selection really is a miscellany - to the extent that I have my doubts about its coherence and virtues as a course*. But there are entertaining patches, I suppose, and Fun Home is good stuff.
*I mean, perhaps the idea is to communicate the diversity of form and style out there in the late 20th century. But that's kind of a bland point to make over a semester.

Well, the reading list is
Ian McEwan: Atonement
J.M. Coetzee: Disgrace
Alison Bechdel: Fun Home
Robert Adamson: The Goldfinches of Baghdad.
Jennifer Egan: A Visit from the Goon Squad
Chris Cleave: Gold
No idea. I can't say that it interests me much, but Cleave is in town during semester and is going to come and talk about it.

Your endurance challenge of the day. Try to watch this video for at least a minute and 30 seconds. I personally couldn't do it ...

Except our two McKifla friends; they should jump in and defend their positions with enthusiasm.
Also SFLC Ep 2 works in the parts:

So it might last two mins? Cain was dropped by Kongo. People forget he has shit stand up.
Cain does not have shit stand up. He has pretty decent stand up. He has a shit defense while standing. Different things.

Okay he has shit defense and is going against the second best striker in the world.
Yeah, it might last a bit longer but ultimately, Cain is getting knocked out again. Hopefully Junior doesn't break a hand on Cain's skull so the Overeem fight can happen quickly.
You'll see him going back to his wrestling more. He gonna be the heavy version of GSP.

Bendo once again proves he truly is preaching the Word of God:
Lets do it. Can't say I would want to see Mir vs. Barnett in a seven rounder, but the champs themselves are in good shape and 7 rounders would be awesome and basically match boxing.
Besides, UFC has way too much fucking free PPV time, they could fit them all on. Do it.

No thanks. Most 5 round fights fall in one of two camps: The bad ones where 2 extra rounds would be horrible, and the good ones, where guys are way to spent to go another 2 rounds.
